    The Department of Education has decided to withdraw a proposed rule that aimed to change certain regulations under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The proposed changes would have removed the need for public agencies to get parental consent before using public benefits or insurance for services required by IDEA. This decision follows a review of over 9,700 public comments, many of which opposed the changes due to concerns about potential negative impacts on Medicaid services for students with disabilities. Instead of changing the rules, the Department will focus on providing technical assistance to better support the use of Medicaid for school-based services.

    Simple Explanation

    The Education Department was going to change a rule, but decided not to. They want to help teachers use healthcare money for kids that need special help without big rule changes right now.
